What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

14 Tessa
Colin forgot how long he stayed in the room, and when he felt hungry, he realized that he was already sitting on the ground.

Looks like dinner must have been missed.

He recalled the location when Roman Sagan left, and easily found the door of the room.

Uneasy, he opened the door and poked his head out.

He thought that if it was already night, he might as well go back and stay until dawn, so as not to cause trouble to others.

The space outside the room is bigger than the inside, but the light is not enough, you can vaguely see a huge column in the middle, and a circle of stairs spiraling up.

Colin quickly realized that this should be the middle part of the mage tower.

"It turns out that the inside looks like this." Colin, who entered the Mage Tower for the first time, observed it very curiously and carefully.

The so-called mage tower, from the appearance, is probably equal to a huge chimney, with a large bottom and a small top.Colin, who was obviously located on the first floor, could feel that the area at the bottom of Roman Sagan's mage tower was by no means smaller than the playground of the college, and the rooms distributed around it went up layer by layer, and the height did not reach the top.

The staircase spiraling up around the giant column protrudes narrow aisles leading to the room. From the bottom to the top, there is a futuristic industrial style.

Colin's first reaction turned out to be: it must have cost a lot of money to build this tower.

While thinking, I heard a gentle female voice behind me:

"This mage's tower was specially built by His Majesty the King for the teacher 46 years ago. It is said that it cost an entire earldom's tax revenue for a year."

Colin turned his head sharply, and saw a woman in a large black magic robe standing quietly behind him. Her eyes suddenly fell back, showing that she was looking up like Colin before.

"Hello, Colin."

The woman smiled warmly: "If Mr. Garr has no spelling mistakes, your surname should be Wayne, right?"

"Ah... yes." Ke Lin was stared at by the other party's clear and flawless eyes, and greeted unnaturally: "Hello..."

For a moment, he didn't know how to address the other party. Although there was a high probability that this was the other disciple the teacher had mentioned, it would be really embarrassing if he made a mistake.

Fortunately, the other party quickly introduced himself with a smile:

"My name is Tessa, and I am the teacher's first disciple. You can call me Tessa directly, or you can call me senior sister according to the custom of the classical magic period."

"Hello, Senior Sister." Ke Lin hurriedly saluted.

In fact, the word "senior sister" was a proper noun in the classical magic period. Habit, the affix of this word is very long, and it is awkward and troublesome to pronounce in spoken language, so in modern times, many magicians have given up using it.

Maybe there are not so many particulars in this world, but we, the traversers in the land of etiquette, really can't accept being called by their first names, especially such an elegant, beautiful and quiet senior sister.

Well, Roy's words in this regard are indeed consistent and appropriate.

"The teacher asked me to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment first, but I think you need food more now, how about a juicy steak and baked potatoes?" Tessa looked at the new junior brother and smiled.

Colin, who was already hungry, felt his stomach cramping instantly when he heard these two words. He nodded eagerly, and then said politely:
"I'm really bothering you, sister, you should have already had dinner."

Tessa looked at him with a little surprise, then smiled and said:
"The teacher once said that in order to go further on the road of magic, one must be able to endure loneliness and have a concentration that ordinary people do not have. This is indeed true."

"Huh?" Colin didn't understand what he meant.

"If you came out two quarters earlier, you could hear the sound of the bell tower in the city... It is already three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, and you not only missed yesterday's dinner, but also today's breakfast and lunch."

"Huh?" Colin was stunned for a moment. He thought he had only stayed in the room for a few hours, but it turned out that a whole day had passed.

Strong concentration is indeed a good thing, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to starve to death.

And I missed three meals, it was a blood loss.

Tessa seemed to see through his thoughts, and smiled softly: "It seems that the younger brother needs two steaks and potatoes?"

"Yeah." Colin nodded unceremoniously.

……

……

Colin let out a long breath as he dipped the last bit of sauce into his mouth with potatoes.

He had never eaten such delicious food in his "life".

In this world where dark cuisine is everywhere, it is not easy to eat such delicious food. The taste and deliciousness of the steak are no less than the western food eaten in the previous life. The only disadvantage is that the sauce is not rich enough, which is obviously spiced. Not enough variety.

Thinking that the price of spices in this world is comparable to that of gold, if you want to eat such a meal outside, it is estimated that Roy will save ten trips to the Moulin Rouge.

"Mrs. Muller's craftsmanship is one of the best in Thunder City, but her use of spices makes many nobles dare not hire her."

As Tessa was talking, she carefully handed over a handkerchief, motioning for Colin to wipe the sauce from the corner of her mouth.

Colin glanced at the white and scented veil, shook his head resolutely, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.

Tessa took back her handkerchief, smiled and said: "You stayed up all night last night, but I don't recommend going to bed right away, it's better to hold on for a while and go to bed at dusk, so that day and night won't be turned upside down. Taking advantage of this time, I will take you Get familiar with the environment here."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior Sister."

Coming out of the "restaurant" on the ground floor, Tessa took him up the tower floor by floor.

In fact, although the magic tower is magnificent, its structure is very simple. It is nothing more than a large chimney built up in circles of rooms.

Colin had never walked such a high staircase, and he already felt a bit strenuous going up to the sixth floor, but when he looked up, he still couldn't see the top.

Suddenly he felt light on his body, and a gust of air supported him to go up, and he immediately became much more relaxed.

I heard Tessa say: "Junior brother doesn't know magic yet, so it's really difficult to walk so many ways."

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Colin, who knew that Tessa had helped him, quickly thanked him.

I can't remember how many floors I walked, even with the help of Tessa's wind magic, Colin gradually couldn't bear it.

Finally, Tessa stopped.

"The Magic Tower has a total of 25 floors. The top floor is the teacher's bedroom, study, and laboratory. The bottom floor is Glenn Knight's room and training room. I live on the 23rd floor, Mrs. Muller lives on the 21st floor, and the 22th floor is the servant's room. , the [-]nd floor is reserved for you."

I live downstairs from my senior sister?

Not bad.

But who is Glenn Knight?

Why can you be so close to the teacher?
Colin didn't ask immediately, but followed Tessa in a regular manner and continued to walk.

"This is Mrs. Muller's room." Tessa said, knocking on the door of a room.

It was only then that Colin discovered that there were floor numbers marked on the passage connecting the stairs and the corridor outside the room on each floor, and this place happened to be the 21st floor.

The door opens.

An almost spherical body squeezed out of the door frame.

"Oh, little Tessa, you must have brought that little junior to see me."

A short and fat middle-aged woman greeted her with her short legs circling, and made a fuss in an extremely enthusiastic tone:

"Sure enough, I guessed correctly. The new disciple recruited by the master, except that he is too thin like little Tessa, is simply a standard young gentleman."

Colin looked at his typical civilian attire, and his figure that was not fat but not thin, but he couldn't see anything about him like a thin gentleman.
